First trailer of Cyberpunk 2077

Here is the first trailer of Cyberpunk 2077. It's CGI and it does look great, showing the Psycho Squad (who combat psychos aka "individuals who overuse implants") trying to acquire a new member. The game will throw players in the dark future of 2077 where overdose of innovations can lead to the curse of humanity.Update : Details and higher quality trailer added.

The society of Cyberpunk 2077: We didn’t get rid of our problems; we multiplied them. CD Projekt RED reveals more details about the setting of its upcoming RPG.

The world of Cyberpunk 2077 presents a grim vision of the future. Tech advancement went hand in hand with the decay of society. Body augmentations invented to serve society simply multiplied the problems, and sometimes lead to mayhem on the streets. New inventions led to addictions and poverty became an even larger problem.

In Cyberpunk 2077, the player will be thrown into a dark future. The metropolis of Night City is a stage set to tell the tale of one individual, raised on the streets, who tries to lift himself up from the gutter and find a way to survive amongst boostergangs and megacorporations in a city of filth and sin. Drugs, violence, poverty and exclusion haven’t disappeared by 2077, as people stayed they were for centuries – greedy, closed-minded and weak. But not only ghosts of the past trouble mankind, but new issues have appeared. Psychos go on rampages and the streets are filled with junkies addicted to a new form of entertainment – the braindance, a cheap way to experience the emotions and stimuli of someone else, someone living a more exciting life.

Braindances are digital recordings of a person’s experience. The viewer can stream a braindance directly into his neural system via special brain augmentations, called a BD player. Braindances allow the viewer to experience all brain processes registered, including emotions, muscle movements and all stimuli perceived by the recording person.

The range of themes of these recordings varies from simple braindances made by megacorporations, which e.g. allow the viewer to feel the full experience of an explorer with all its thrills, sweats, smells, views, sounds and the real feeling of curiosity that pushes men to go beyond the horizon against fear and physical weakness. But there are also more controversial sides of braindance, because some recordings are created illegally in the underground. Entering the mind of a serial killer means not only seeing the monstrosity he performs, but also living his lust to kill and fulfillment.

You haven’t experienced the latest New Hollywood recording? You’re nobody! The streets live with braindances, everyone just got crazy and wants to be a part of this new entertainment fad. Some people push it even too far and they cannot stop living other people’s lives. If you’re not linked to a braindance right now, you are probably discussing what happened to you during your last session. Of course, just like every great new cultural movement, BDs have people who criticize them. Just watch these two guys arguing about this phenomena.

This is the world of 2077. The gap between high and low is bigger than ever. Drugs, violence, braindance, psychos on the loose… Will you be able to function in this defunct society or end up a BD-junky with nothing left, set aside like garbage - still living someone’s else life –not aware of what’s going on around you? Whether you like it or not - this is the age of braindance decadence; this is Cyberpunk 2077.

Boring music, wish they would use some Blade Runner/Deus Ex/Daft Punk style music to rev up the setting more.
The trailer itself, it was average at best, I just hate these generic follow bullets and rotate and move camera around while everything else is stopped.

Its more like tech demo of the CGI quality than anything else.

Prey 2 was the way to do it since they implemented their gameplay ideas directly into the CGI trailer.

girl is pretty cute (and hawt) and it's almost obvious she is based on a real model, as she has a quite unusual (and ugly?) nose for nerd standards. Quite like it.

I find this refreshing, as most pieces of shit devs find ugly people b/c they want a stereotype of ugly people, and then they have male/female lead, and they need to be artificially perfect. This comes as real.

LOL nerds.

I dont find anything wrong with her anyways, nor the nose. Hell i find it cute. Some non-generic shapes can stand out and make them unique in its own way so I guess this is it :)

Have You noticed that at end of the trailer the girl in transporter has a almost identical scar on cheek like the woman with blades when being shoot in the cheek? Some desertion from Psycho Squad motive? The cheek hit scene is strongly shown in the traiiler.

The video description kind of implies that. I don't think it was a hidden thing to look out for.

they tend to get in the way - besides what's the point in asking her to wear that maid outfit when she's just going to rip it up by accident ... oh wait :D

Posted by tetsu3000What did you expect for a teaser? In-depth gameplay? XD

...

The troll me in is screaming yes ... the older sensible me says "you have a point" ... f'ck it .. yes I wanted gameplay screw this cg shit ... from this day on I only want a preview/teaser that shows me gameplay ... I am writing off all cg i/cg t's as bs and lies (^ _ ^ )

Posted by digi_matrixThey're still building a dev team, so 2015 sounds reasonable. Especially if it's next gen.

Music is Archive "Bullets". Fit really well with the trailer, no inception horns or dubstep.

The song reminds me of Faust Arp by Radiohead. Same style of phrasing in the vocals.
As for the trailer: does nothing for me. Mainly because it's CGI, but also because it's pretty generic (slo-mo, impact of bullets; might as wel be a trailer for Crysis at maximum armor).

I am fine with September 1. I just hope they won't 'gimp' the X1 version like they did with GZ. It was 720p and that shit is not done in 2015. But PES was 720p too.....maybe Fox Engine just doesnt (41 minutes ago)
